PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. - Pleasant Prairie released video from a police chase that led to a foot pursuit on Wednesday, Sept. 25.
In the video, you can see police successfully deployed a spike strip which led to the suspect's tires being punctured. Eventually, the speeding driver slowed to the point where officers could use a PIT (precision immobilization technique) maneuver on the car.
Once the vehicle stopped, the driver and lone occupant jumped out and fled on foot. But officials say the suspect was taken into custody a short time later.
